Web design and local search, street by street.
We’re a web and search team based in Dublin, across the Bay Bridge and out I-580. We work with San Francisco businesses remotely, from Valencia Street to Clement, Irving and Chestnut.
Searching in San Francisco
Seven by seven miles, dozens of main streets.
San Franciscans shop by neighborhood, and often by street. Valencia and 24th Street in the Mission, Clement in the Richmond, Irving in the Sunset and Chestnut in the Marina are each their own small market, and the map answers with what is a few blocks away.
The city serves residents in English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Filipino and Vietnamese, and many customers search and read reviews in those languages. Millions of visitors add another layer: people who know a landmark, not a neighborhood.
The weather runs backwards. Summer fog pours in through the Golden Gate, the Outer Sunset is the foggiest corner, and September and October are often the warmest months. Patios, events and anything weather-dependent see demand on a different calendar from the rest of the Bay.

Doing business here
A few San Francisco rules worth knowing.
Within 30 days
Every business must register with the Treasurer and Tax Collector within 30 days of starting, and renew by the end of February each year.
Formula retail
In neighborhood commercial districts, chains with 11 or more other locations need extra approval, and a few districts ban them. It is part of why so many main streets stay independent.
The Legacy Business Registry
Businesses open in the city for 30 years or more can join the registry for free, with marketing help and grants. If you qualify, say so on your site.
Check the current rules with the City and County of San Francisco before you act. They change.

How we work from Dublin
Across the Bay, on your block.
We study your corridor
Before we start: who ranks within a few blocks of you, what people search and where your visitors come from.
Calls and plain reports
Video calls when you want them, and a monthly report you can read in five minutes.
Wherever you are
Kickoff and check-ins happen on video, so you never lose an afternoon to the bridge.
Google ranks the business on your block, not the agency behind it. Being based in Dublin doesn’t change how you show up in San Francisco.

Straight answers.
You aren’t in San Francisco. Does that matter?
No. We work with clients wherever they are, and we start by learning your corridor: who ranks within a few blocks of you and what people there search for. We meet on video whenever you want, and your rankings depend on your business, not our address.
Should my site name my street and neighborhood?
Usually, yes. Many people here search by neighborhood, and some by street. Naming both plainly on your site and profile helps those searches find you.
We’ve been open more than 30 years. Is the Legacy Business Registry worth it?
It is free to join and comes with marketing help and grant eligibility, and it gives you a real story to tell on your site. Check eligibility with the city first.
What does it cost?
We quote to your scope, not from a price list. Price depends on how many pages or locations you need, how competitive your searches are, and whether you want a one-time build or ongoing work. Book a free 20-minute call and you get a written number afterwards, with no obligation. Websites can be paid in two halves or spread over 6, 12 or 24 months.
